Rimfireboy Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Been thinking of having one made up but would have to be local for f2f now under current laws , I remember several on sale in the seventies and you could have them posted to you then , bit of a pain now finding them as closest cities are Birmingham ,Bristol or Cardiff ,rang gun dealers/rfd in Cardiff nothing doing so will be a long trip to source one , what are the dimensions of yours ? Inch and a half diameter and ten inches long, that's the dimensions of mine,lol.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VULTURE Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hi Here's my Baikal .410 O/U, it uses the same action as the 12 bore just has the smaller barrels so it's a bit heavier than most .410 O/U s,still a good gun though.

ratbuster Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I have a couple of vintage .410's (which btw don't need a licence in the Netherlands, as long as they are made before 1945 and black powder proofed ) and a couple modern ones. In the Netherlands you aren't allowed to do any shooting with a .410 not even use it on vermin control. I'm trying to put a picture in, but how do I do this ?

Rimfireboy Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Here is the shotgun 24 inch barrel version I don't own this one and not sure if they are legal on SGC now If it's single shot it should be legal on section 2, so long as the barrel isn't less than 24 inches, the overall length isn't specified. Self loaders and pump actions need a minimum 24 inch barrel and overall length of at least 40 inches. As I understand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malkiserow Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I was looking at a double, hammer .410 pistol the other day....... Superb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwizard Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I like the fourtens , I suppose the small calibre reminds me of a large calibre rifle where as the larger bore shotguns seem a bit ofa overkill thing , ok I know the pattern on most is usually poor and is not helped by being full choke , anyone that's tried them on clays will know you really have to be a good shot ,my favourite is seeing the smile on a youngsters face when they fire their first shot with a 2" shotshell , I like small gauges so much I have just bought a 28 and the difference in pattern really has to be seen .
